Hi David,
First, scan the system for parasites and remove them. SpyBot S&D searches

&
Adaware (similar)

(Remember to perform a Webupdate to have the latest definitions installed)
This will remove malware from the PC. Next, reset the Search Engine. Click
the Search button in the toolbar > Customize > AutoSearch Settings > Select
a provider from the list.
Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs > "Reset Web Settings"
Download the fix - Reset Search:

When I type in the address bar it will pull up a list of
sites I have recently visited but when I click on them I
get "Almighty Search" search engine popping up. How to I
get back to what I had which is the ability to jump to any
address that shows in the pulldown.
